US EditionOrange County, Calif., Registrar Sued over Non-Citizen Voter Records
- The Department of Justice sued Orange County Registrar of Voters Robert Page on Wednesday for refusing to provide complete records on removing non-citizen voters.
- The lawsuit stems from a June 2 complaint submitted by a relative of a non-citizen who reportedly received an unsolicited mail-in ballot, leading the DOJ to seek unredacted documents.
- Page provided records with redactions of private information, citing California laws, which DOJ says preempt state law and impede federal election law compliance assessment.
- Orange County, with 1.9 million registered voters, has removed 17 individuals identified as ineligible non-citizens. Supervisor Don Wagner stated that if federal authorities are entitled to the information, state laws do not override that authority.
- The DOJ stated it will hold jurisdictions accountable for federal voting law violations and emphasized removing non-citizens is critical to maintaining accurate voter rolls.
